try "X :1 -bpp 8 -query localhost"
(assuming that you're using xdm. use similar arguments without the query for startx)
It looks like it's having trouble with the 16bpp.
Failing that, I've found XF86Config, which comes with the vga16 to be wonderful, especially the newer version from a month or two ago.
Setup from scratch for a very simple 8 bit display (you can now choose this), and start moving up from there.
